That requires a long answer and more information from you. Dedicated home theatres (HT) can cost $100K or more, or be built for a few thousand (including equipment).
Some questions to answer:
- What type of home theatre? For a small-medium TV/DVD combination? For music and video? For a projection setup?
- Where? If in an existing room, this will define some of the constraints. For example, seating distance will largely determine screen size. If a new room for the HT this has it's own demands based on many variables.
- How fussy will you be about acoustics and sound proofing?
- What electrical and other wiring requirements are there? For example, do you require hidden wiring, connection to internet or a home network, or cable or satellite?
I don't want to scare you, but many factors interrrelate and need to be worked through. The more you think about and plan the better the result will be.
You also need to be realistic. If you have limited funds you will want to do much of the work yourself, but do you have the expertise? A HT is great (I took a year to plan and build am just now enjoying the results .. and I'm not finished) but it is not an easy project to take on yourself.
nuff said. Have a look at the construction and design threads on AVS Forum (See link to home page). Read all you can about home theatre equipment(e.g. for projectors read Projector Central. Consider seating and screen design .. see links) design ..... and go for what you can realistically take on.
